Word Etymology

[Crixx_Creww]

Ive been fascinated with origin of words aka its Etymology for a long time.
Certain things we say and names we use, i see the connections to other things in them and wonder about the roots and why words came to be the way they are.

not 100% complete or anything but is a growing source of word Etymology.
For instance, one thing that has bothered me for a long time,is the use of the word Jesus.
I wondered why a clearly non Aramaic name was being propagated as the name for the son of God.
Knowing that his name is Eashoa, i wondered why that wasnt used as openly as Jesus, i wondered if there was some nefarious ploy behind it all arrrrrrr (pirate arr,dont know why i did that), but seems to be a simple case of transliteration, and in transliterating from aramaic to hebrew to greek, there seems to be some words that dont have a greek/english equivalent, so the name gets transliterated as J e s u s.
Pretty cool, puts my mind at ease.

Just thought id share some Etymology with yuzze guys and gals.
Check out some others, like mildew and black.
Cool stuff

you need a gyul lol.

I have a certain interest like yours but its for the origin of phrases, they have some really weird ones and some where you think the origins are obvious but when you find the real origin its a big shock.

Not trying to take away from your thing, just adding to it.

nah yu making real sense

perfect example is trinidadians phrase"it making warm"
comes from the spanish , translated exactly, the verb would be to make warm or to make hot.
But thats just not good english.

We have alot of phrases from England as well that we think is our own, as do the jamaicans but its really english phrases.
